gsESwitchAgingTime
Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB
OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsESwitchAgingTime
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: The timeout period in seconds for aging dynamically learned forwarding information. A default of 300 seconds is recommended. An aged entry is marked invalid, but is not removed from the Address Forwarding Table, because it is assumed that it will be relearned to the same location within the table.
What is gsESwitchAgingTime?
Sets, in seconds, how long a dynamically learned MAC entry can sit idle before it's marked invalid (though not immediately removed, since it's expected to be relearned at the same location); 300 seconds is the recommended default. Admins shorten this on networks with frequent device moves so stale entries clear faster.
